PS to Lynn: i have hung my diapers to dry for about 6 months and they are staying in good condition...and they don&#39;t take too long to dry....worth a try to save your investment!!! :) --camilleONCE upon a time....http://www.blogger.com/profile/04775827662148335424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-16337197018816302009-10-09T11:12:11.314-04:002009-10-09T11:12:11.314-04:00Awesome!

It took a long time for me to convince my family that i wasn&#39;t insane, and now turns out my cousin is going to CD (while not in daycare) as well! Lucky her, i did all the smooth-talkin&#39; work for her!

I haven&#39;t had my baby yet (coming late November) but everyone around me is pretty skeptical about cloth diapering...I know this will be me in just a few short months, and I will definitely be giving demos and discussions! I also love your tips on how and how often you wash.

It would have saved me a ton of money! I try to tell everyone that will listen. Some people aren&#39;t open to it, but pp are right that there are alot of people who become quickly interested!!

Now I live here and I can&#39;t use cloth because the dryer eats the diapers but as soon as we move, my little one will be back in cloth! :)Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170593056215538073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-45509508837635074352009-10-04T03:16:55.579-04:002009-10-04T03:16:55.579-04:00Yea!

When I told my sister a few weeks ago that I was going to start cloth diapering, I thought I would get the &quot;You are becoming such a hippie&quot; comment. But instead she said &quot;I&#39;ve thought about CDing, too&quot;. I think a lot of times young moms are open to CDing, but they just need to see that it can work, and have an example, like you! For me, reading blogs like this and hearing from other moms has been such and encouragement and I have learned SO much!Attila &amp; Tamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03318309422262695362noreply@blogger.com
